0540 - Deck Game Bird/Poultry Battery Brooder

GQF battery brooders with clear panels are ideal for displaying all types of chicks in feed stores, to monitor chick conditions at a glance and to raise large numbers of birds in limited floor space. Lightweight materials mean lower shipping costs as well as easy handling of drop pans. Sturdy base with rugged casters and securely fastened brooders result in a solid stack which is movable when full of birds. Only 65” high, all tiers of 5 brooders are accessible and drop pans and floors can be removed for cleaning while the brooders are stacked. Brooders are designed to bring normal room temperature up to desired temperature.  Brooders do not have sufficient heat to offset a cold, unheated barn.

Brooder Assembly Instructions

Can I attach a water reserve?

Yes. The 0580 Automatic Water Kit can be hooked directly to a hose so you never have to worry about your chicks running out of water. The pitfall of this is that if there is a leak it could be a major issue. Personally, I recommend connecting to a 0580 Auto water kit to a 5-gallon water tank instead. It’s what I personally use on my brooders that way if there is a leak it is at most a 5-gallon leak. This will generally keep your chicks watered for a week.

Where can I get some chicks?

There are a lot of people online that you can buy chicks from if you are looking for a certain breed. You can find the chicks we have available —>here<—
